After studying the magic skin drum for a while, Luo Hong discovered that this thing was a real magic weapon. In addition to using real magic energy to activate it, it could only be activated simply at the expense of a large amount of blood essence.
The true demonic energy in this ancient demon imprisoned in the giant pit has long been dissipated, so when the demon skin drum is beaten, its arms will wither and shrink. It can also be seen from this that the power of essence and blood is used to stimulate the body. The consumption of using this magic weapon is so serious.
What Luo Hong found strange was that this magic skin drum was apparently made by the ancient demon after he was imprisoned, using his demon servants who were also imprisoned. So what was his purpose?
It’s definitely not because I’m too busy and want to find something to do.
Judging from the ruthlessness of this ancient demon in turning himself into a desolate corpse, his original intention of refining this magic skin drum was definitely aimed at the ancient cultivators of Xutian Temple, but I don’t know in what specific aspect.
Judging from the magical power of this drum just felt, it should not be used to break out of trouble.
Now is not the time to think about it, Luo Hong put the magic skin drum into the treasure bag first, and looked at the place where the red-faced desolate corpse was sitting cross-legged, trying to find some clues.
However, Luo Hong found no clues about the demon-suppressing place in Xutian Temple except for a strange altar covered with dark red runes, which made him a little anxious.
It is a pity that this is the case and there is no way to force it. Luo Hong has no choice but to return. It has only been a few hours since the land of ghost resentment is closed. If he cannot go out before then, he is very likely to be trapped in the land of ghost resentment. Prohibition of large-scale killing.
With a depressed mood, Luo Hong came to the edge of the giant pit and was about to jump out when he noticed something was wrong.
"Huh? The color of the wall of this pit...could it be?"
Luo Hong's eyes moved slightly, and he ordered the demon head to fly up, confirming that there were no restrictions of interest here. After being restrained in the air, Luo Hong raised his energy and flew to a hundred feet above the giant pit. A large group of seductive flying spirits sensed Luo Hong's presence and came to attack him.
A crowd of ghosts surrounded Luo Hong’s sight, and he shouted angrily:
“Get out!”
At the same time, silver light shone in his pupils, Countless spiritual needles flew out, and after the demon was swallowed up, Luo Hong could finally see the huge pit below with his naked eyes, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"Sure enough, there is something hidden! If it weren't for the help of the medical examination form, I almost missed it!"
Luo Hong no longer cared about the enticing spirits that flew in, and fell straight to the wall of the pit! In front of him, without saying a word, he used his skills and punched the wall of the pit.
Suddenly, a violent explosion erupted, and a large area of the pit wall collapsed and scattered black-red powder. The scene was just like when the corpses turned into powder.
Before the black-red powder dispersed, Luo Hong saw the relief on the wall of the pit that was originally covered by it.
"It's true!"
Luo Hong couldn't help but exclaimed excitedly when he saw this.
It turns out that when Luo Hong noticed that the color of the pit wall was the same as the color of the runes on the altar, he made a guess in his mind. He flew into the air and measured it with a medical examination table.It was discovered that the surface of the pit wall was actually uneven, and there were even vague outlines in some locations.
Luo Hong looked at the relief and saw that what was depicted on it was a scene of a great battle. Both sides were dominated by human monks, but an image of an ancient demon appeared in one camp. Obviously this It is a battle between ancient cultivators and ancient demons and their servants.
Luo Hong instantly realized that the clues he was looking for were in these reliefs, and he immediately smashed them along the walls of the pit, causing more reliefs to reappear.
Because he was in a hurry, Luo Hong did not look at these reliefs in detail, but he could roughly tell what these reliefs told.
Probably not long after this tragic war began, powerful men from the spiritual world and the demonic world personally took action to engage in a cross-border battle with each other.
Probably because of the interface barrier, neither of them showed up. Instead, they each condensed spiritual clouds and demonic clouds that occupied half of the sky, and various magical powers rolled in the clouds.
Under the clouds, the war between the ancient cultivators and the ancient demons became more intense, and they all fought for their lives.
In the end, in the battle between magic weapons, the sword-shaped magic weapon shot from the magic cloud lost to a token played from the fairy cloud.
However, although the token dispersed the demonic cloud, it itself also split into two halves.
There is no doubt that what followed was the great victory of the ancient cultivators. They planted restrictions on the captured demon cultivators, threw them into a pit, and designed eternal punishment. The six ancient demons led by them Then he was taken to the depths of Xutian Palace.
Arrived here, Luo Hong stopped bombarding the pit wall and looked intently at the relief of a strange giant tower on the pit wall.
This giant tower relief occupied a large area of the pit wall. Luo Hong recognized it immediately as the inner hall of the Xutian Palace, and the small cauldron carved on the top of the giant tower relief should be the Xutian Cauldron.
If this is the case, this relief cannot be called "weird".
The weird thing is that the relief of this giant tower is a symmetrical structure from top to bottom, which means that under the common Xutian Inner Palace, there is actually a giant tower that is exactly the same as the inner hall, but is upside down!
Luo Hong instantly understood that this giant inverted tower that was not visible on the surface was the demon-sealing place of Xutian Palace, which was where he was going.
There were many reliefs that were not revealed later, but Luo Hong ran out of time. After getting the key clues, he flew out of the giant pit and rushed toward the exit.
......
Close to the gray fog in the land of ghosts and resentments, there is a place full of exotic flowers and plants, as vibrant as a fairy garden. .
In the garden, there are eight exquisitely carved jade pavilions, with more than thirty monks standing or sitting.
Among them, Nascent Soul monks from the two paths of good and evil, headed by Wang Tianming and Man Beard respectively, each occupied a jade pavilion.
The monks in the alchemy stage other than the old monster Yuanying are all looking a little embarrassed at the moment. Many of them are pale, and some of them are even stained with blood. They are obviously seriously injured..
However, no matter how injured they are, all the cultivators are happy. After all, as long as they pass through the Land of Ghost Resentment, they can pick rare elixirs from the outside world in the Xutian Secret Realm before heading to the Ice and Fire Road. Perhaps this would allow them to further their cultivation.
Under the concerned gazes of the two old demons Ji Yin and Xuan Gu, Han Lao Mo arrived belatedly with Zi Ling and Yuan Yao.
As soon as Old Demon Han saw so many people here, he knew that he had passed the place of ghost resentment, and he habitually walked towards a deserted place.
Zi Ling wanted to follow, but was entangled by the tool she used first, so she had to give up.
Yuan Yao once again covered her pretty face with her black robe. Looking at Han Li’s leaving figure, she hesitated and did not follow him. Instead, she found an empty space near the edge. Sit down and recover your consumed mana.
In this way, all the cultivators were waiting in the garden for the teleportation formation leading to Xutian Secret Realm to appear, and half a day passed quickly.
At this time, Yuan Yao had already recovered his magic power, but he waited and waited until the person he expected appeared. His beautiful brows under the black robe were furrowed, with a look of surprise on his face.
No way, he can even easily deal with the King of Ghosts, so why can’t he get out of the land of ghost grudges? !
Yuan Yao looked at Han Li, who was alone in the corner and had no sense of existence. She gritted her teeth and walked over.
"Miss Yuan, now that we have left the land of ghosts and grudges, we have nothing to do with each other. Why are you here?"
This garden also has extremely powerful, Suppressing the restraint of his spiritual consciousness, Han Li spoke in a low voice without fear of being overheard by others.
Although Yuan Yao's beauty moved him, this woman was so afraid of others knowing her identity that she was obviously a troubled person.
Han Li already had enough troubles, and he didn’t want to cause another one, so his tone was rude.
"Brother Han, don't be surprised. I just came here to ask what the iron-faced monk said to Brother Han? Why hasn't he come out yet?
It stands to reason. With his ability, no ghost in the Land of Ghost Resentment can do anything to him."
Yuan Yao knew that she was being rude by asking, but her magic weapon was seriously damaged in the Land of Ghost Resentment. Without the support of a trustworthy monk, she really had no confidence that she could walk through the Ice and Fire Road.
But in order to preserve her senior sister’s beautiful soul, she had to enter the Xutian Inner Temple, so she could only ask the question.
Han Li couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard this. Could this woman have any relationship with Senior Brother Luo?
Unable to figure out the relationship between Yuan Yao and Luo Hong, Han Li naturally would not tell Senior Brother Luo that he was trying to kill the ancient demon. After pondering for a moment, he asked:
"Miss Yuan and fellow Taoist Tiemian know each other?"
"They are old acquaintances, I guess."
When Yuan Yao talked about this, she couldn't help but blush. Hong, after all, she almost became that man's concubine.
"That's it. Don't worry, Miss Yuan. Fellow Taoist Tiemian will come out."
p>Han Li knew very well what Senior Brother Luo was capable of, but he did not believe that Senior Brother Luo would be trapped in a place of mere ghost grudges, just to delay some time.
Yuan Yao only felt that Han Li was perfunctory. However, the other party was powerful and she did not dare to push him too hard. After all, her friendship with Han Li was just a one-sided relationship.
While he was stamping his feet in depression, a figure wearing an iron mask walked out of the ghostly mist.
Luo Hong's appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention. It was not surprising that he walked out of the land of ghosts and grudges on the right foot. What was strange was that he came so late without any injuries on his body.
Did this person sleep in the land of ghosts and grudges?
Although the cultivators had doubts, their attention was quickly diverted by the sudden appearance of a teleportation array in the open space of the garden.
Same as in the Yuzhu Hall before, after the teleportation array appeared, the two elders of Xinggong went forward to check it out, and then warned everyone that they could only stay in Xutian Secret Realm for one day at most.
During this period, everyone can pick elixirs based on their skills in the secret realm. When the day is approaching, everyone will either enter the ice and fire path to accept the test, or they will be sent back to the garden through the teleportation array again and wait for a month. Then you can teleport out of Xutian Palace.
Those who exceed the deadline will mysteriously disappear in the secret realm, that is, they will be killed by the forbidden magic circle in the virtual sky secret realm.
After finishing speaking, the two elders of Xing Gong took the lead in walking into the teleportation array. After a flash of white light, no one was seen.
After the Yuanying old monsters passed, the remaining monks in the Dan Formation stage rushed to the teleportation array. If it weren’t for the fact that this was still an outer hall, with the rules of the Star Palace pressing above their heads, they would have been there long ago. A fight broke out over succession.
This is understandable, after all, these monks are willing to take risks and go through the land of ghosts and grudges just for the elixir in the secret realm.
Luo Hong is not in a hurry. The top elixir in Xutian Secret Realm, Jiuqu Lingshen, is destined to belong to Old Mo Han. He can just wait for the transaction in the future. Instead of going to the secret realm to search for elixirs, it is better to use The aura of the secret realm restores mana.
Soon, not a single monk was left in the garden. Old Mo Han glanced at Luo Hong and Yuan Yao strangely before walking into the teleportation array. He didn’t know what he was thinking.
"Miss Yuan is waiting like this. She must have recognized me. If you have anything to say, just tell me."
Luo Hong looked at Yuan Yao with a half-smile but not a smile. Looks like a master.
"Uncle Luo, you have to help Yuan Yao this time!"
As soon as Yuan Yao took off his black robe, his pretty face could be broken by a bomb. The expression on the verge of tears made people feel heartbroken.
"Uncle Luo?"
Luo Hong twitched the corner of his mouth, coughed to calm his mood, and asked:
"How have your parents been doing these years? ?”
When talking about her parents, Yuan Yao, who had been pretending to cry, suddenly became real, her eyes were slightly red and she said:
“My father died a few years after Uncle Luo left. Unable to bear it, she passed away, and then her mother died of depression three years later. Yuan Yao has been lonely to this day."
"Hey,At least the two of them can still share the same cave after death, and may still see each other in the next life. "
Luo Hong sighed, then changed the topic and said in a deep voice:
"Miss Yuan, there are many dangers in Xutian Palace. Even if you are an old friend, I will not You understand that I agreed to protect you without knowing anything about it. "
When Yuan Yao heard what Luo Hong said so seriously, she immediately put away her little tricks. After hesitating for a moment, she recounted the grudges she and her senior sister had with the Qingyang Clan.
< p>One of the reasons why she let go of her guard so quickly was because Luo Hong did not act like a gentleman when she was young. Although when she became an adult, she thought it would be good if she was taken advantage of. < p>The other reason is that because Luo Hong also has a grudge against the Qingyang Clan, it is impossible for him to betray her to the Qingyang Clan. This is what she found out during a soul search of the elders of the Qingyang Clan after she formed the elixir.Luo Hong naturally knew all about Yuan Yao’s secrets. This was her disaster and her opportunity. If she hadn’t attacked and killed the young master of Qingyang Clan, she would most likely have died in this life. Unable to form elixirs
“Okay! Good kill! It was the young master of Qingyang Clan who ordered Luo Mou to be hunted down in the first place, and it was the reason why your parents suffered so much! "
Luo Hong laughed and said happily.
"Uncle Luo is now willing to agree to protect Yuan Yao? "
Yuan Yao looked happy, put away the Qingleizi she used to testify, and asked with a smile.
"Well, due to some reasons of my own, I just Is it inconvenient for Miss Yuan to walk on the lava road in the Ice and Fire Road? "
Luo Hong didn't wait for Yuan Yao's response. He coughed as he didn't want to be ignored anymore, and said with a solemn expression: "Also, Miss Yuan, please don't call Luo 'uncle' anymore. 'Yeah, we immortal cultivators have always been ranked according to their cultivation level. "
Yuan Yao couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle after hearing this. She didn't expect Luo Hong to care about this. Could it be...
Thinking of some charming things, Yuan Yao His cheeks couldn't help but turn a little rosy, he turned his head to avoid Luo Hong's eyes and said:
"Then...Brother Luo, let's go. The Xutian Palace only opens once in three hundred years. Many of the elixirs in the secret realm are treasures that are over a thousand years old. "
Luo Hong nodded in response and walked towards the teleportation array with Yuan Yao.
Looking at Yuan Yao's graceful back, Luo Hong had a slight thought. He was willing to protect Yuan Yao into the inner hall. , not just for the past feelings.
